ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves faced a tough loss last night, falling 3-2 to the Philadelphia Phillies in the eleventh inning. The game, which marked the final regular-season matchup between the two teams, ended with a game-winning single by the Phillies (3-2), leaving Braves fans disappointed.
Despite the loss, Braves fans had one highlight to celebrate over the weekend. On Saturday, Michael Harris made what might be the catch of the year. Phillies outfielder Austin Hays hit a deep shot toward center field that looked like a home run, but Harris leaped, twisted in mid-air, and made a spectacular grab, saving the home run. Unfortunately, that was one of the few bright spots for the Braves, who lost 3-0 to the Phillies on Saturday.

The win not only secures UGA's position as the top-ranked team in the country but also extends their regular-season winning streak to 40 games.
